Hello Matthew Jacobs,
I'd like you to reexamine a change. Please visit
http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/7829
to look at the new patch set (#6).
Change subject: IMPALA-5211: Simplifying ifnull conditional.
......................................................................
IMPALA-5211: Simplifying ifnull conditional.
Re-writes ifnull(x, y) into if(x IS DISTINCT FROM y, x, NULL),
and simplifies x IS DISTINCT FROM y -> FALSE if x.equals(y). Removes
backend implementation of ifnull.
It's important and subtle that the re-write uses "x IS DISTINCT FROM y"
rather than "x != y" so that the simplification can be made while
handling null values correctly. ("x != x" may be either false or null,
but x is distinct from x is always false.)
The error messages are slightly altered by this change:
Before:
Query: select nullif("a", 1)
ERROR: AnalysisException: No matching function with signature: nullif(STRING,
TINYINT).
Query: select nullif(1, 2, 3)
ERROR: AnalysisException: No matching function with signature:
nullif(TINYINT, TINYINT, TINYINT).
After:
ERROR: AnalysisException: operands of type STRING and TINYINT are not
comparable: 'a' IS DISTINCT FROM 1
ERROR: AnalysisException: nullif() must be called with two arguments.
This kind of error message is consistent with what you get for other re-writes.
Testing:
* Added new tests to ExprRewriteRulesTests for nullif and the if(x
distinct from y, ...) simplification.
* New test for the rewrite in ParserTest.
* Adds an nvl2() test, incidentally.
* Confirmed (using EclEmma, which uses jococo engine) that coverage is good.
* Ran the tests.
